Law School

I also had similar this feels like how to get away with murder vibes and was already starting to get a headache if it did turn out that way. But the way they turned one crime and went to intricaies of it and all it's connection had me blown away. Some episodes got me all whoaaaa what!! All the suspicion and the way the story has been delivered has expanded my very own imagination.

I know the first episode was not delivered that well but beyond that has been a quite a enjoyable ride. And it is not as slow as it seems, your mind will be constantly engaged . And if you would be willing to cross the barrier of subtitles and biases against korean production then it will be a gem that you will find. I'm currently on the 13th episode and impatiently waiting for more.

This drama gradually builds up excitement in every episode as it progresses. The ost of this drama adds even more excitement and meaning to the drama. Unlike other typical law dramas, Law School is unique. The drama represents real cases that actually happens in people's lives. There is a lot to learn from this drama.

At first, i thought that this would just be like any other thriller drama where the first episode presents the characters and what this series is about. And finally, episode 2&3 will show a major secret villain. But nope, it got me wrong. Each episode will just make the viewer feeling gawk even more. And then when the OST "it's driving me crazy" hits you'll just go along because that is what this drama is.

Only a small minus, the characters speak and subtitles, sometimes, are too fast. Great series overall.

To start with the less than ideal bits, there are moments in the show when the plot feels farfetched and a bit too convenient, and it certainly has its fair share of cliches. But towards the end, I found myself empathetic for the characters and was happy to see their lives turned out well. This was a pleasant surprise for me since I rarely get this invested in characters in a "warm" show like this.

This brings me to the next point. There are great show/movies these days with deep/intriguing plots that make you invested, and shows/movies that are warm and just give you a good time. But these two categories are too often mutually exclusive of each other. In my opinion this show is a healthy blend of the two.

Overall I'd recommend it if you enjoy good acting and entertaining plot and are okay with the few shortcomings I've mentioned above.

I finally got to see a program where I couldn't miss a scene or fast forward as I usually do. No incessant chatter, no female lead that acts immature, dumb or irritating and 2 male leads that were a pleasure to watch.

It was cinematic in places, with plenty of legal terms . But the taut direction meant the loopholes in the law, the power of interpretation and the battle between truth and justice beautifully captured.

I also think the casting was fabulous. I loved the young ones and the Professor.
